The Greater Pewee is a large and distinctive member of the pewee group, known for its mournful, three-part whistle. It is a resident of pine-oak and mixed forests in higher elevations.

Where to spot

Found in pine-oak and mixed forests in mountainous regions from the southwestern United States (Arizona, New Mexico) through Mexico and into Central America.

How to spot

Listen for its loud, distinctive call, which is the easiest way to detect it. Look for it perched upright on an exposed branch, often near the top of a tree.

When to spot

Active during daylight hours, especially vocal in the mornings. It is resident in much of its range, some northern populations may make short-distance migrations.
